First off, nothing is like " the good old days," including us.
Secondly, even though my screen name suggests otherwise, this is our 10th wonderful year at the Lake.

Having said that, we usually eat about 10 times a year at he Woodshed as it is a place many of our visitors like to eat. For reasons unrelated to dining we ate there last night for the first time this year.

It was excellent. It was quite busy when we arrived last evening but the table was ready at the reservation time. There are some changes in the menu most of which are positive, except no more hanger steak which I did enjoy.

An excellent house salad still comes with the meal and a "Caesar" is $1.50 more with dinner. But you can also get several specialty salads with dinner for about $2.25 more. It used to be a choice of starches and a veggie...usually generic mixed vegetables. Now you can get 2 sides in addition to the salad and the sides include a variety of starches as well as asparagus,broccoli,Brussels sprouts and Brussels sprouts with a Parmesan,something cream sauce.

I got duck "2 ways".... A large boneless breast and leg confit with a very tasty Port wine reduction sauce. My wife was very happy with her steak.

The server, Bennett, was professional and accommodating.

We will definitely return. I have no association whatsoever with the Woodshed, except that I really like to eat.
